Food52 Review: The Ruirita is a sophisticated sipper with a few hurdles to overcome: There are several ingredients (Cynar, orange-flower water and rhubarb bitters) that the average person is unlikely to have on hand. It is also a cocktail that requires measurement -- no eyeballing ingredients here! All that said, Ruirita does a great job of introducing casual drinkers to the complexities of Cynar and the use of bitters. The drink is flavorful and intriguing: the herbal Cynar complements with the bouquet of orange-flower water and the tequila smooths it all together. - Savorykitchen
